OLD AGE ASSISTANCE 2671

1937 (Sp. Sess.), ch. 12, sec. 13.

13. (Assistance Not Assignable.) Assistance granted under this Arti-
cle shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none
of the money paid or payable under this Article shall be subject to exe-
cution, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal process, or to the
operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

1937 (Sp. Sess.), ch. 12, sec. 14.

14. (Appeal to the State Department.) If an application is not acted
upon by the County Department within a reasonable time after the filing
of the application, or is denied in whole or in part, or if any award of assis-
tance is modified or cancelled under any provision of this Article, the appli-
cant or recipient may appeal to the State Department in the manner and
form prescribed by the State Department. The State Department shall,
upon receipt of such an appeal, give the applicant or recipient reasonable
notice and opportunity for a fair hearing.

The State Department may also, upon its own motion, review any deci-
sion of a County Department, and may consider any application upon
which a decision has not been made by the County Department within a
reasonable time. The State Department may make such additional investi-
gation as it may deem necessary, and shall make such decision as to the
granting of assistance and the amount of assistance to be granted the appli-
cant as in its opinion is justified and in conformity with the provisions of
this Article. Applicants or recipients affected by such decisions of the State
Department shall, upon request, be given reasonable notice and opportunity
for a fair hearing by the State Department.

All decisions of the State Department shall be final and shall be binding
upon the county involved and shall be complied with by the County
Department.

1937 (Sp. Sess.), ch. 12, sec. 15.

15. (Periodic Reconsideration and Changes in Amount of Assistance.)
All assistance grants made under this Article shall be reconsidered by the
County Department as frequently as may be required by the rules of the
State Department. After such further investigation, as the County Depart-
ment may deem necessary or the State Department may require, the amount
of assistance may be changed or assistance may be entirely withdrawn if
the State or County Departments find that the recipient's circumstances
have altered sufficiently to warrant such action.

1937 (Sp. Sess.), ch. 12, sec. 16.

16. (Recovery From a Recipient.) If at any time during the continu-
ance of assistance the recipient thereof becomes possessed of any property
or income in excess of the amount stated in the application, it shall be the
duty of the recipient immediately to notify the County Department of the
receipt or possession of such property or income and the County Depart-
ment may, after investigation, either cancel the assistance or alter the
amount thereof in accordance with the circumstances. Any assistance paid
before the recipient has come into possession of such property or income
and in excess of his need shall be recoverable by the County Department
as a debt due. One-half of the net income realized from all such claims shall
